CHIMNEY.

To all ifrm//t it may! vanter/i; l

Be it known that I, C iiii. Wiiisicic, ii citizen ol the Unite-d States, rrsiding :tt hicitgo, in the ctninty of Cook and Stuttol Illinois, have i iiivviitetl :i new and useful linprovonniit in l Chimneys, of whiffh tho following is ai spr-viliciii" gi. x

My invention relates, more. particularly, to :in iiiiprovcuieiit in tho class of chimneys, siiioke-lhics, and thc like., which :iro roiist rurtg ed ol' iiietEl-iciiiiorccd courroie, o

it is found in the practical use oll the vziriti-ty of chimney referred to, for sinolter und l other '.vork,\\"l1crviii the .structure Cairi'ios. ol' fnirivs from sulfur, arsenic, arctic acid, nitric zic-id, and the like, that the gaines 10nd to cxei't a nior or'less deleterious notion on tite concrete. of which tho wall ol' the strut-turc is coniposofl. i

The primary object of my invvntion is to avoid injury to the strut-.ture Ii'oiii the stattet' g causes, by providingit, in thv4 process ol' orcction, with :in ai-.idproof, refractory lining ol' special (-oimtruction.

)ly invontion is illustrated in the uvt-omptinying drawing, in whit-i- Specification of Letters Patent.

'lo provide iny improved lining in a. clum- I ney 1u, such, for example, as is shown and described in Letters Patent of the United Stat/:s No. V"45,241 granted to nie on the 29th day of Drceirfher, 1963, the procedure is as follows: The tiles are laid in the molds employed to Eiiriound the skeleton metal structure and receive the coiiorctofr embedding tho metal hairs, and which is commonlytiiinped in the molds. For fiioh section of L thv` oonci'vte-lilling, dvterniinfid as to its i height hy thv height of the molds ein loyed,

ono or more circumferential series of t ie tiles (i (dt-.poridingr upon the relative height ofthe molds and ol the. tiles) are lnid about the 2 outer suil'zir-.o'ol' tho innermostmold, withthc llfingv l() ol' ono tile overlapping the udjnrwnt i-dgv ol' thil nvxt tilfl in thu circumlortiit-iiil soi-tvs', :ind tinllnngo 9 of euch tile o\' ilzippin -r thizuljziount odge of the next tilt` in :t Wirth-,nl trios ol. the tilvS. Vith the lining so formi-d for mu'li '-.oiiorete section of thv. vhininvy undfi'going Joustruction, the vom-.rt-tv lillml into tho nioldi` koys to it the tili h y igmhvdding thc` rihs S and the flanges il, lu, und thus lit-coming (love-tailed in the rvrvssos forint-d on tho hawks of tho tiles hotnm-ii tlurihs :ind thvl lhingos. Curr is ob- .wrvod in'laying thv tiles in tho molds to lovin* :i `light spits-.o 1'. hvtiwvn thv contiguous odgos ol' mljzuwnt tihs, to proi'iilv oxpiin- .sion-joints throughout tho lining structure;

tho oom-,rotta BY the described construction of lining, the lap-'ointed tiles forminv it are mutually interloci'ed and they are also so intimately interlocked with the concrete wall-structure of the chimney as to renfler the lining, practically, an integral part thereof, while effectually shielding it againstl injury from the hot gases for carrying ofl 'which the chimney is ein loyed.

lg'hatl claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

1. A lining tile for chimney, smoke-fines and the like formed of refractory material and consisting of a body provided on one surface with a rib undercut along its sides and having offset flanges extending from two adjacent edges and undercut along their inner edges said rib extendino' from substantially the central Portion o one of said flanges and substantially parallel to the other flange.

2. In combination with a reinforced con'- crete chirn'ney, flue, or thelike, a refractory adjacent tiles throughout the lining and acid-proof fillings in said lap-joints whereby fumes passing up the chimney will be proven ted from attacking the concrete of the structure.
